It’s Cold Outside!

Little chilly here in South Dakota today. The temp got all the way up to -8, which was actually a few degrees warmer than they predicted. It sounds like many of our friends and family are experiencing similar frigid temps and snowy conditions.

I’ve wanted to try this for a long time, and today was the perfect day for it…

Boiling water to steam experiment

 

School was cancelled due to the extreme cold, so the kids and I had a game-playing, icy suncatcher-making, chocolate-covered pretzel-dipping, craft-creating, book-reading,
stay-where-it’s-cozy-and-warm kind of a day.

*Side note here… I attempted this picture 3 times. Kara’s eyes were closed on the 1st one, Evan’s were closed on the 2nd, and Luke made sure his were open for this one! : )

Stay warm and safe out there!

He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
Psalm 147:16&17
